We were back on the road around 8:30 this morning. Pete had begun having a bit of a problem with diarrhea yesterday evening and earlier this morning. He was a bit nervous about facing the drive up, but there are several rest areas along the GSP and TPK.
They drew blood and recorded his vitals and everything looked good. When he told D of his latest problem she became a bit concerned and gave him a complete kit and instructions on collecting a stool sample for a culture as it could be an intestinal infection of some sort. Let's just say there wasn't enough solid evidence for them to test, so she instructed him to eat a bland diet of boiled rice and gave him a couple of prescriptions. He's to call her tomorrow and give her a full report.
He spoke with Dr R and A and as long as his bowel problem begins to resolve itself, he won't be going back until Thursday. It was also recommended that he periodically take and record his blood pressure and pulse to see if low numbers may just be normal for him.
We were home by early afternoon. Bruce and I had grocery shopping and several errands to run, so it was almost dinner time when we were finally back home. I've spent this evening sitting at the computer finishing up the blogs for yesterday and today. Hopefully, things will be uneventful and I won't have anything to post between now and Thursday's appointment with the doctor.
